Lazy question on my part, I'm under time pressure because bears spilled the garbage next to my place: Does exim under any circumstances close() the file descriptors for the logs? I feel it shouldn't ever do that, but I have no other explanation for these errors. And how did _these_ errors get logged anyway? Is it because exim runs under systemd and systemd captures its stdout and stderr? -- Ian -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## exim-users-unsubscr...@lists.exim.org ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
